Hi [abgroup.com.np](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/abgroup.com.np), Thanks for using Zoom SDK. What is the SDK version you are using? Could you follow the instructions here:[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/sdk-initialization#2-log-feature](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/sdk-initialization#2-log-feature) to enable the SDK log feature and send us an SDK log so that we could further investigate the issue you are mentioning? Thanks! ---

Hi [abgroup.com.np](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/abgroup.com.np), Thanks for the reply. We have a few 4.6 versions(v4.6.15086.0209, v4.6.15801.0403, v4.6.21666.0429), which one are you using? Could you verify and refer to the implementation of our demo app for SDK initialization? ([https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/initsdk/InitAuthSDKHelper.java#L36](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/initsdk/InitAuthSDKHelper.java#L36)) If your implementation is the same as the demo, is our demo has the same issue (working in debug mode and not working in release mode) on your machine? I have tried to reproduce this with our demo app but no luck. Thanks! ---
